About this file
This document is a "Sole Brand" Procurement Justification for Sabik Marine MPV LED Buoy Light Lanterns, specifically designed for use in severe ice conditions. The document details the unique characteristics of the lanterns, including a rugged bronze alloy housing, full waterproofing to 100 meters, low profile design for ice resistance, and ability to replace batteries without removing the lantern from the buoy. GLS Marine Services currently maintains 34 all-season ice buoys and lanterns in U.S. waters of the St. Lawrence River and plans to replace buoys with U.S. Coast Guard Type 7x20LIR Ice Buoys using these Sabik Marine MPV-LED Heavy Duty Ice Buoy Lanterns. Sabik Marine is noted as the only manufacturer of ice buoy lanterns tested by the USCG, and GLS intends to compete this acquisition as a Women Owned Small Business acquisition.
